A tragic crash on U.S. Highway 84/285 claimed two lives yesterday morning — a 74-year-old woman died instantly, and a 77-year-old man succumbed to injuries after being hit by a vehicle that veered off the road. Both victims were standing on the shoulder near their parked car when struck. Alcohol is not suspected in the incident, and authorities are still investigating what led to the collision. This sobering event underscores how perilous even roadside areas can be — and the investigation continues as officials seek answers and support those affected.
